BISD BOARD CANDIDATES DRAW FOR PLACE ON THE BALLOT

Special to El Rrun-Rrun

So far, seven candidates for three vacancies on the board of the Brownsville Independent School District have applied for a place on the November ballot.

The drawing will be held at 6 p.m. at the BISD main office at 1900 E. Price Road.

Three candidates have applied for Place 1, held by incumbent Drue Brown. Including Brown, former board members Carlos Elizondo and Phil Cowen applied for a place on the ballot as the hour for the drawing approached.

Place 2 has incumbent Denise Garza and lone challenger Victor Caballero drawing for a place on the abloot.

Place 3 has challenger Frank Ortiz challenging incumbent Prisci Roca Tipton.

But take this with a grain of salt. Some candidates have been known to appear before he 6 p.m. drawing deadline and fill forms announcing they will switch to another place depending on the number of candidates on the place they sought.

But far more interesting is the apparent running of Caballero and Elizondo as a slate, with the former trustee receiving a post of support from the former Garden Park principal. 

And operating on the fringes is none other than former BISD board attorney Baltazar Salazar, who has come out in support of Brown in spite of the fact that Caballero and ELizondo are backing each other up. 

If you remember, Salazar was one of the law firms vying for board attorney last year. When he left, he was earning in excess of $300, 000 a year, second only to the superintendent. Hmmm.

And there is yet another blast from the past. None other than former BISD Superintendent Noe Sauceda is also posting his support of Elizondo.

Have any deal been cut to bring these blasts from the past out of the woodwork?

It doesn't surprise anybody that those two characters have join together as a slate. Both Victor and Carlos are all about themselves.

Rest assured deals have been cut and signed in blood. "Los Espookys" are out and howling. No se crean. They are all scary but La Rata Pelona is shameless. People if we vote this bottom dweller, here let me dress the part because I am full of myself, in it is only proof "que nos gusta la mala vida." Do not vote him in cast your vote else where and head for the hills.

Republicans are world-class liars.

This about former Trump chief-of-staff (and current target of the DOJ) Mark Meadows.

According to Wikipedia, Meadows lied about having a B.A. degree and was forced to admit he only has a two-year Associate college degree. I don't care what degree he has, just don't lie about it, OK?

They will lie. Republicans are good ay lying.

Republican pussy Rudy Giuliani to be indicted -

Corrupt Donald Trump's enablers, like Giuliani, that he throws under buses get what they deserve. They are adults & know the risks of dealing with a known criminal like the Trump Crime Syndicate.

Enough of these shit-spewers. Clean up the country.


Vote Democrat.

Agree. RGV LEO must be a eunuch, too.

And, like Trump, he likely pees sitting down.

a surprise guest showed up: Elon Musk. Musk reportedly held a fireside chat with Republican leaders and donors about a way forward, possibly without Trump. Musk has been critical of Trump and has said he would consider backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis should he choose to run.

Analysts expect Social Security payments will likely rise due to growing inflation rates, meaning some may end up earning less than what they receive now because the increase in payments could place them in a higher tax bracket, according to Nexstar Media Wire.

No real choices for the residents of Cameron County. It’s the same individuals over and over again. Are these people really that concerned about the youth of our community or their own personal gains? Hopefully there will be some Republicans running for these positions. We need a change for the better. Time to think about the individual and forget about the party.

Carlos and Victor together as a slate of candidates for school board. Sad news. People say that Victor's favored word is "I".

What are things that Republican Party is against?
Such laws include opposition to abortion, same-sex marriage, transgender rights, comprehensive sex education, and recreational drug use. Most conservative Republicans also oppose gun control, affirmative action, and illegal immigration.

Their number one is illegal immigration and their solution is sent all of them back a bunch of rapist, murderers and thieves. verdad mayra?

August 24,2022 @ 1:54 pm...your absolutely correct about "Carlos Elizondo La Rata Pelona" His criminal activities and total disregard to his past, clearly depict or spell out his true character of being a PSYCHOPATH; a serial suicidal; an individual of doom failure, wanting to undo his past by repeating it; a detached individual scorned by his own doing; he believes, if he closes his eyes, no one will remember or see him for who he TRULY is! Believe me Carlos we see YOU and WE DO REMEMBER. GO AHEAD, MAKE A FOOL OF YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY AGAIN, AGAIN, AND AGAIN...TRUTH BE TOLD, YOUR A LOSER AND YOUR BRINGING SHAME TO YOURSELF, every time your run for a political office, all your doing is adding another bullet to that chamber!!! "Deer Hunter" in your case will call your story "Dream Hunter".
